Float 2182 was misapplied to the equatorial Pacific when it was not properly prepared to be an ENSO float. Floats targeted for deployment in equatorial Pacific regions (equatorward of latitudes 13N and 13S) are ballasted for 1000dbar and mission programming is non-PnP. This float was prepared as a typical PnP float - parking at 1000dbar and profiling to 2000dbar on every 4th profile. This float executed its first profile but only a few argos messages were received. This float may not report during periods of peak stratification. -dds 06/26/05
